Local H's first show of their first proper tour w/ Brian St. Clair behind the kit.
I believe this was his 4th show w/ Scott.
This recording is quite legendary for a few reasons....
I'll try to sum up the story if I can...

At the time, Local H was writing new material (which would eventually end up on
"Here Comes The Zoo" 2 and a half years later). I had started asking the band
for taping permission right around this time. I had emailed the Local H "Road
Dog" Gabe regarding this a few times prior to the above concert. He was pretty
adamant that "no taping" was allowed. I did not listen to him & brought my
gear, anyway. When I ran into him at the merch booth, he asked me again, "You
taping tonight?", to which I replied, "No! Of course not!". What I didnt tell
him was that I had cohearsed 2 of my close friends into doing it with my gear
while I went to the front of the stage. If you listen to the show, you can hear
them commenting on where I am and also on the show. Quite funny to hear. They
did not talk during the music. Show got taped, I got front row, heard new
material & was able to bring it home. A win-win.

Now, this is where I made a huge mistake. 10 years ago, "bootlegs" were not
available via the web as freely as they are now. The only way to "circulate"
your recordings were via snail-mail trades, or eBay. I did not expect to make
anything more than the cost of CDs, stamps, envelopes & so on, so I listed on
eBay under a different alias. Boy, did that not make the "Road Dog" happy. Or
the band, for that matter. I started getting emails from Gabe asking me to pull
the recording. After ignoring his emails, I started getting emails stating the
band requested this, etc. Then some of the emails got nasty. After I spoke with
Gabe (via AOL AIM) and explained the situation, I pulled the auction. I was
then told to never give ANYONE the recording and that if I "obided"
by his rule, I would get rewarded with a Local H Pack Up The Cats tour jacket
when the new record came out. Well, it did not end there. I saw the band a week
later in NYC that tour and Scott pretty much called me out on stage in front of
the entire club. Go ahead and listen to it, look up 1999-10-27. He then gave me
the cold shoulder for 2 years. The irony of this story is how I have went from
the idiot kid who listed the Local H show on eBay to completely the opposite. I
have since become close w/ the band, have attended nearly 200 of their concerts
& have aided in the free sharing of their live recordings here on The Archive
and on their bulletin board. I have also done countless amounts of promotion
for the band for the past 10 years. If you are still with me after reading that
story - dont you want to hear the recording now? Im pretty sure it's now safe
to share.

Oh -- and I never got the PUTC tour jacket, the bastard. I wonder if one ever existed.
